Elterwater, Walk B, 10th September 2022

Lead by Pat Guy, 7 miles, 1200ft

The B party walk this month will be led by Pat Guy. It is a scenic walk
passing tarns, waterfalls and a cave. We leave Elterwater following the
Cumbria Way to Skelwith Force, after admiring the waterfall we go over
the bridge and continue along the Cumbria Way and after a short climb
we visit the spectacular Colwith Force, the path continues gradually
uphill to High Park then levels out to Stang End and on to the Cathedral
Cave which is worth a visit, then it is a short distance to Slater Bridge, a
very ancient packhorse bridge. After crossing the bridge we make our
way up to Little Langdale village, which is just a few houses and a pub!!
Then it is back to Elterwater via Wilson Place and Sawrey’s Wood.
The walk is just over 7 miles long and 1,200ft of height gain.
There are refreshments in both the pub and tea-shop on our return to
Elterwater.
